Quick question. If you shouldn’t startup rt by running rtmux.pl in the bin
directory, then how does one start RT?
Please help. The clamoring is getting louder. I haven’t had to restart RT
since it first began running in November 1999. SO naturally I have
forgotten how.
RSVP,
thanks,
Dirk

It look likes msqyl is not running, that is the file it creates on startup.

It sounds like your MySQL database isn’t running anylonger. Can you log into
the database manually? Look at ps and see of mysql is running.

If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

Something has killed the socket file Applications use to talk with
mysql - maybe some script like tmpwatch. Quick fix: Restart mysql.
Long term solution: Change the script which starts mysql. On many
distributions MySQL seems to have /tmp/mysql.sock compiled in - in a
directory where it is prone to be deleted by maintenance scripts.
But you can give mysql a different socket file by starting it with
the option --socket. Take a look at ‘mysql --help’.

to keep RT running MySQL and a web server have to be running.
your second post just looks like you haven’t started up
MySQL yet.

Errm - either you use the web interface to start webrt.cgi or you
use the programs rt or rtadmin in /path/to/rt/bin/. But I think you
should fix your database problem, RT will run like a charm again
after that

What do you mean by “start RT”? Besides the mysql daemon running the
database in the background, and the web server serving the web client on
the front end, there isn’t anything you need to “start”.
